Life

From 1961 to 2013 he was head of the South Tyrolean Ethnic Groups Institute in Bolzano, where he was replaced by Paul Videsott . In 1971 he received his habilitation in political sociology at the University of Innsbruck , where he taught until 2000. From 1974 to 1979 he was also a professor at the University of Salzburg . From 1994 to 1996 he was President of the Federal Union of European Ethnic Groups .

Pan has written several papers on the subject of minority rights as well as on various economic and social science aspects of South Tyrol .

criticism

Pan's ethnocentric ethnic group concept , which he drafted in 1972 to differentiate it from Ralf Dahrendorf's “homo sociologicus”, is controversial: Pan's “homo ethnicus” refers to the reactionary notion of the “essential community” of a people and a “folk substance” postulated by him . These ideas flowed into the ethnic group concept of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft , whose Charlemagne Prize Pan received in 2004.
